Windows 7
Moderator: Claw
As of yesterday Windows 7 went on pre-order for release late October
Windows 7 Professional-E is £89.99 pre-order at PCworld, Currys, Dixons and Comet
Windows 7 Home Premium-E is £49.99 pre-order at the above places
Pre-order is upto the 9th August I think.
Thats not a bad price and I could probably get away with running the Home Premium version (not sure I would use the extra's Professoinal gives)
Thought's???

Don't know if I should pre order the Home Premium @£49.99 some places have sold out and it's now £74.99, or wait until a few of my favourite sites have a working copy to try I haven't even tried the RC yet so I don't know what the feel of the OS is like.
It would probably be an advantage on my new hardware.

I did install the beta for a bit, seemed to me they were trying to make it windows for idiots. Big icons, press here, its all so easy etc. Nothing new and groundbreaking I noticed. But I am a mac user, prolly explains it.
Did I see that right? Does it mean no xp mode unless you get pro version? This should be explained in more detail.
